Senior Advice To Future Classes First of all, we advise you not to be afraid of work-if you leave it alone, there is little fear of it bothering you. Second: Get on the good side of your teachers, for by their pens your grades are written, and WE know that a 95 is just as easy to write as a 645. Third: Never buy any pen-cils, ink, or rulers, for it ls much more economi- cal to borrow them and forget about it. Fourth: Stay up as late as you please-if you go to bed early, it may ruin a perfectly good nap for you in class the next day. Fifth: Be kind and generous to your teachers. If they give you 95, give them a nice red apple: if they give you 85, give them a sour plum: and if ever they give you anything as low as 75, feed them green perslmmons. Sixth: If you want to live long and be happy among your schoolmates, act the part of another: that is, do not be yourself, or some fine, bright morning you will wake up in company with a family of squirrels. Seventh: Don't ever take your math books home, for if you can't copy your problems off the other fellow in 45 min- utes, you are not capable of carrying any high school course. -5 7..

x have ln participating in this phase of work. They have come to a greater ap- preciation of music since they have a better idea of its history and the in- fluence on our liv-es. They have learned the value of good music just the same as the value of good literature. Their knowledge of the great masters has been broadened by an intensive study of their lives and by hearing their choice selections. Music competition is a very high factor in music as it produces good fellowship, inspiration for higher things, pleasure and democracy. Music in the schools is essential as every child does not have the opportunity to become a musician although everyone does not have the ability to bec-ome a musician yet he might attain a knowledge in study which otherwise he could not have h-ad. By co-operation with our teacher our class has a higher standard of music than it could have realized at the beginning of the term, We are proud of our Junior Orchestra who have furnished music for school, church and other public meetings.. The members are from the sixth to sopho- more gradesand have been organized almost three years. When it was first organized, it had only three members, but now has twelve members. An advanced course in Art has been offered to the juniors and Seniors. The students cannot keep from liking and enjoying this course. Art helps people in many respects-in planning homes, public grounds and in planning cloth- ing. It develops a taste for better things and an appreciation of the best in life. There have been about twenty pupils in each of the eighth grade and high school domestic science classes this year and they have certainly done some very nice work, both in cooking and sewing. The high school girls have studied carefully the principles of de- sign and have applied them in making three dresses each. The eighth grade has learned the elementary essen- tials in cooking and sewing and has ap- plied them skillfully. WW -5 5..
